Meet "Democrat" Kesha Rogers: Worse Than Ted Cruz

5/28/14 Update: Last night David Alameel defeated Kesha Rogers in the Texas Primary Runoff. An overwhelming margin, 72.4%, voted for Alameel and left Kesha with only 27.6% of the vote. Alameel will face Cornyn in November.

Running for the U.S. Senate as a “LaRouche Democrat” Rogers has already been rejected by the Democratic Party. The State Democratic Executive Committee’s released its official party position on Rogers’ candidacy. “The Texas Democratic Party will have no relationship with the campaign of any person identifying him or herself as aligned with the LaRouche Movement or Lyndon LaRouche…”

Now, being rejected by your own party isn’t the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes ideological differences can get in the way. What was this Senate hopeful’s ideological difference? Well, to start there’s the fact that her main focus is the impeachment of President Obama and that she frequently and easily compares him to Adolf Hitler - a genocidal psychopath responsible for the deaths and systematic oppression of millions of people.

Because the best way to win a campaign is to sound like a 12 year old trolling in the comments section of a website.

There is no sugar coating this - Rogers has no qualms with suggesting that the President should be killed.

Rogers is entirely unfit for office or any podium from which she could express such a vitriolic and aggressive ideology.

As we gear up for elections, it is important to remember that the power of the vote becomes stronger than ever. When we refuse to endorse people like Rogers we are sending the message that we want clear headed and competent individuals in office. Voters deserve facts and solutions, not fear mongering and offensive comparisons.

You might be asking yourself, what is Progress Texas Institute and how is it different from Progress Texas.

Progress Texas Insitute is our 501(c)(3) non-profit, which is an IRS tax status that allows donations to be deductible for federal income tax purposes. Work under this status has strict limits on lobbying and political activity. We do our issue education and civic engagement work under this status.

Progress Texas is our 501(c)(4) which is also a non-profit, but donations are NOT deductible for federal income tax purposes. Work under this status has more flexibility for lobbying and political activity.

We split our work between these two organizations depending on the nature of the project.
